Kenzi's Causes

An A+ Class

I have the privilege of being a mom to a 5 year old daughter who attends a wonderful school with amazing teachers! Bailey is a student at Stanley British Primary School in Betsy, Brent and Yuzo’s K-1-2 class. She is surrounded by a great bunch of kids who decided to give back to Dolls for Daughters®.

When the email went out to the parents telling us that Bailey’s classroom was going to support Dolls for Daughters®, I thought it was wonderful. Bailey would get to share the story about her sister in her own words with her friends. She was able to share with all of them that she does indeed have a little sister but her little sister is not here but our angel.

The day that Bailey shared Kenzi’s story with her friends she could not have been more excited to share with me that her friends were going to collect dolls and donate them to Dolls for Daughters®. She was so excited to have the support from her friends and to see the dolls they were going to bring.

011 When I went to pick up the Dolls from Bailey’s school, many of the students were so excited to share with me which doll they had brought. They were excited to give back. After the class photo with all 37 dolls this class of 30 collected, I was helped to my car by three great kids - Luke, Annika and Natalie.

Thank you to Betsy, Brent and Yuzo for allowing the dolls to fill your closet. Thank you to Bailey’s friends for supporting her and her sister’s memory. Thank you to the Stanley parents for making a difference in the lives of 37 girls this holiday season and for supporting our family!

Kenzi's Causes

In 2007, Jessica Bachus started Dolls for Daughters®, after her daughter Kenzi was stillborn. She created an annual holiday Toy Drive for Colorado children who would not otherwise have toys during the holidays. Today, Kenzi's Causes collects more than 100,000 toys, stocking stuffers, books, toothbrush/toothpaste kits, backpacks, lunch boxes and other items to change the lives of children in Colorado through our programs. At this annual event, families are also provided with community resources to help improve their lives and the lives of their children.
